I have no idea what to do right now, I use ChatGPT all day while studying new concepts. It condenses time needed to understand complex new information by several magnitudes, and at this juncture studying without it seems pointless, it's rapidly become an extra layer in my brain.

get API access and use https://github.com/Bin-Huang/chatbox when the web UI is down.

Yes, ChatGPT is down.

Upon logging in, I noticed it suddenly downgraded me to free although billing is current. People are reporting they also lost Plus subscriptions and all chat history.

I also got blocked by Cloudflare, so am unable to post with my Ray IDs. People are also reporting this.

Please do not rely on these tools, they should not be a dependency of your thinking. My bookshelf have a 100% uptime!

The API still works. I've been using https://github.com/TheR1D/shell_gpt/ in my workflow.

it generally seems to be entirely seperated ive had multiple instances where the ui was slow, but i could easily use the api, i ended up building my own client for funs and its pretty useful now aswell :)

Chatbox is neat. I have API access but I'd rather not pay for large-context GPT-4 requests while I already have pro, it's good to spend this time improving on llama.cpp's built-in chat server if you ask me :)

Edit: And we're back!

How do you know the information you're getting is factual?

For a lot of use-cases, it actually doesn't matter that much.

You're probably not downgraded, but rather the UI defaults to free plan, and once the API confirmed you're subscribed, the state switches to the "Plus" one. Same for chat history and more. Just give them moments to restore the backend and it'll come back surely.

Personally I saw "You've been flagged for suspicious traffic" for a few moments before the whole thing went down. I'm not using any extensions or anything extra, just raw vanilla ChatGPT Plus and been using it almost daily since ~1 week after GPT4 launch, with no malicious usage at all. So guessing that was also a temporary message because of some state shenanigans.

I too bring my horse everywhere. I do not rely on such devious gas monsters on 4 wheels.

The new StackOverflow is already down. Meanwhile, local and self-hosted LLM AIs like Llama 2, Code Llama and the derivatives have 100% uptime....

Unless development is freezed, I don't think locally hosted LLMs have a 100% uptime, but surely the uptime is much greater than OpenAI's ChatGPT uptime at this point.
